What is the balanced equation for the reaction of nitric acid and sodium hydroxide?

Answer 1

Nitric acid: HNO3 (acid)

Sodium hydroxide: NaOH (base)

This is therefore an acid-base reaction.

Acid + Base --> Salt + Water

Therefore: HNO3 + NaOH --> NaNO3 + H20

Or: Nitric acid + Sodium hydroxide --> Sodium Nitrate + Water

Answer 2

HNO3 + H20 --> No3- + H30+

the hydrogen from the HNO3 goes to the water

Answer 3

Ammonium Hydroxide + Nitric acid ----> Ammonium Nitrate + Water

HNO3 + NH4OH ----> NH4NO3 + H2O

The equation is already balanced.

Answer 4

HNO3 -> H+ + NO3-

hope this helps~

Answer 5

The decomposition of nitric acid is:
4 HNO3 = 2 H2O + 4 NO2 + O2

Answer 6

HNO3 + NH4OH --> NH4NO3 + H2O

Answer 7

A reaction is not possible.

Answer 8

HNO3
